Whether you’re a seasoned pitmaster or just getting started with BBQ, this recipe will show you how to make the best BBQ ribs you’ve ever tasted.
Ingredients
- 4-5 lb pork ribs (baby back or spareribs)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp mustard powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup ketchup
The key to great BBQ ribs is a good dry rub, and this recipe features a blend of brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. This rub gives the ribs a nice balance of sweetness, smokiness, and savoriness. The apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and ketchup, make up the base of a flavorful baste that will keep the ribs moist and delicious.
Preparation
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a butter knife under it and gently peeling it away.
- Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Rub the mixture evenly over the ribs, making sure to cover both sides.
- Cover the ribs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and ketchup to make the baste.
Cooking
- Preheat your grill or smoker to 225-250°F.
- Place the ribs on the grill or smoker, meat side up, and baste every hour with the basting mixture.
- Cook the ribs for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.
- For extra flavor, you can wrap the ribs in foil and continue to cook for another hour.
Serving
- Remove the ribs from the grill or smoker and let them rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting them into individual ribs.
- Serve with your favorite BBQ sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or baked beans.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
